When I was in Bangkok early this year, the florist told me the flowers were from Cameron Highland, Malaysia. Of course I was very surprised that Malaysia was exporting flowers all over the world. And the consequences of that is beginning to show today...... who shall we blame? THEY? The farmers?
If you stop buying flowers for birthdays.
If you stop buying flowers for convocations.
If you stop buying flowers for wreaths.
If you stop buying flowers for garlands.
If you stop buying flowers for prayers.
If you stop buying flowers for decorations.
Only if you stop buying flowers.....then farmers will not be expanding farmland for this lucrative business.
YOU are to blame for the Cameron's catastrophe. No matter where you are, if you support the flower business, then you are supporting environment catastrophe.
I just came back from Nepal. I refused to accept the garland given by the guide when I arrived at Kathmandu. I honestly think I have done my part. Do you?
